It may just be the time of year but I seem to be seeing so much orange in magazines lately. I actually really like orange, especially as an accent color. It looks beautiful on this table in Ina Gartens dining room
This is how I remember orange used in interiors. This 1960s kitchen says it all!
Love the Veuve Cliquot orange label
These French iron beds with the spicy duvets and soft tangerine sheets are so pretty
T Keller Donavon used the bright stools for impact in this simple kitchen. How fun are they!
A seaside inspired bedroom with nautical blue and orange. If you check out yacht club burgees you will see many versions of orange used in the club flags.
Look in your spice drawer or use vintage fabric for inspiration
This wonderful bedroom by Michael S. Smith is so special. That wallpaper is the key to this room.
Inspiration from the flower fields of Carlsbad
Kathryn M. Ireland knows how to do bold with fabric. I absolutely love this chair
The soft blue walls and the amazing quilt are a perfect compliment
A simple cup of orange flowers can do the trick
The subtle orange of Mrs Meyers cleaning product labels
Of course the perfect color of orange can always be found in nature. I think if you look around you will see some great ideas for using this fun color.
I'm off to squeeze some OJ

I once saw a photograph in "Cottage Living" of an all white room with this beautiful mini orange tree. The gorgeous little oranges set against the green leaves and white walls just popped! Ever since, I've wanted to have one in our house but they're not cheap, so I don't. ; ) xo Trina
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, and thank you for the wonderful comments. I wanted to comment about a book I recently bought called The Southern Cosmopolitan by Susan Sully.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful book but what is interesting is the amount of orange used as an accent color throughout the book, even on the cover!
Please check out Hanna's blog...so pretty. And Trina, I love to use Kumquats in the house. They last for about a month in a sunny location and then they do pretty well in a pot!
Have a wonderful weekend! best~*~kelley
amazing photo selections....that french bedroom with black twin beds! all of them are inspirational. i don't have orange in my home, but i like the color -- bright in the summer, earthy in the winter.
